Giving in Austria: A Corporatist Relationship between the Nonprofit Sector and the State

  • Chapter

Abstract

Nonprofit organizations have a long tradition in Austria. Many of the country’s currently active organizations date back to the nineteenth century. Established in 1867, the law on registered associations laid the foundation for the formation of the nonprofit sector (Simsa, Schober, & Schober, 2005). Since then, nonprofit organizations’ fields of activity have steadily broadened according to the needs and problems of society.
